As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.

  • Citizens Wilderness Proposal Blm Lands
    Wyoming Citizens' Wilderness Proposal for BLM Lands The Wyoming Citizens' Wilderness Proposal for BLM lands was originally developed and submitted to the BLM in 1994, was updated and resubmitted in 2004, and resubmitted again in 2011. The 1994 Wyoming Citizens' Wilderness Proposal was the result of an intensive, on-the-ground inventory effort carried out by hundreds of Wyoming residents from 1990 to 1993. To accomplish the inventories, citizens hiked through undeveloped BLM landscapes across the state, documenting the presence or absence of wilderness characteristics explicitly following the criteria defined by the United States Congress in Section 2(c) of the Wilderness Act of 1964. As a result of this comprehensive inventory, the Wyoming Citizens' Wilderness Proposal identified approximately 1.5 million acres in the state that fully met the criteria for wilderness designation and recommended that they be so designated. Most, although not all, of the areas recommended by the Citizens' Proposal encompass existing wilderness study areas but also include areas immediately adjacent to wilderness study areas that meet all criteria for wilderness qualities and consideration. The wilderness recommendations contained in the original Wyoming Citizens' Wilderness Proposal of 1994, as well as updates and resubmissions to the BLM in 2004 and 2011, was supported by a broad coalition of environmental and conservation organizations, including the Wyoming Wilderness Association, FOAL, Sierra Club Wyoming Chapter, On Sacred Ground of Wyoming, Wyoming Outdoor Council, Northern Arapaho Preservation Society, Wilderness Society - Wyoming Office, Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, and Western Watersheds Project. WILDERNESS AT RISK: CITIZENS’ WILDERNESS PROPOSAL FOR BLM LANDS The noted organizations and entities submit this proposal to the BLM and DOI to represent the “crown jewels” of Wyoming’s BLM Lands.

    SPATIAL ECOLOGY OF MOUNTAIN UNGULATES IN THE NORTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAINS: RANGE EXPANSION, HABITAT CHARACTERISTICS, NICHE OVERLAP, AND MIGRATORY DIVERSITY by Blake Henson Lowrey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fish and Wildlife Biology MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Bozeman, Montana November 2018 ©COPYRIGHT by Blake Henson Lowrey 2018 All Rights Reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work was made possible through the dedicated support of many collaborators across state and federal agencies, universities, and NGOs. Bob Garrott served as a tireless mentor and inspiration through instilling his passions and expertise in ecology and wildlife management. P.J. White and Yellowstone National Park helped to secure the initial funding and facilitated capture and field logistics. The collaboration with Doug McWhirter and Wyoming Game and Fish greatly expanded the study scope, more than doubling our sample size throughout western WY. Alyson Courtemanch, Hollie Miyasaki, Kevin Monteith, and Sarah Dewey were instrumental in providing data from other regions throughout the Greater Yellowstone Area. Kelly Proffitt and Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks expanded our efforts throughout Montana. Lastly, countless biologists, wardens, and volunteers were instrumental to the project’s successes. Primary funding for this work was provided by the National Park Service, Canon USA Inc, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Grant W-159-R to Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks and the annual auction sale of a Montana bighorn sheep hunting license, Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee, the United States Forest Service, Montana State University, Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition, and Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
